Thanks, Gianluca! Great that rock-hewn churches of Lalibela inspired you!
Once traveling to Ethiopia becomes possible, you will love it!

Africa is a continent I hadn’t had the pleasure of visiting much. Now Etiopia is definitely pencilled in!

Haha, thanks, Amy!
Still loads more to go, though!

Great for your bucket-list add-on, Eric!
About Ethiopians, technically they are not Catholic, but Orthodox, but it’s still a fascinating road of Christianity, I agree!
As for the restrictions for women, this is only at one of the churches, and I think we can find that ban in many religions. Imposing authorities, which is one of religion’s postulates, never goes well with equal rights agenda.

It is so amazing how catholicism spread to that region! I love the construct, though it does sadden me that they dont allow women inside.
